Its Tourney Time!

[DarkestLight]

Well - The fans wanted it, and we've brung it to you.

Simply put, this is the registration portion for our Mono Tournament! Few simple rules to abide by and we'll be on our way.

Signups start today, and last until May 27th. This way, if you do not have the points needed to partake, you can quickly finish up those battles and rack them in (see my reasoning to want ya'll to get yer bank totals in now?).

1) The Tournament costs 3 points to register for, so that goes into the pot. I personally will be throwing in a undisclosed amount of points into the pot - to sweeten the deal since I will not be participating. (This is a clause however...as if there is an uneven number of registered participants - like 7 instead of 8- then I'll jump in to complete a full bracket. [[Clause activated]])

2) This is a Mono-Tournament. Meaning that everyone will have to pick their Pokemon based on Type. Yes, dual types are allowed, so you can have your all-Bug team is you wish. You can have a maximum of 4 Pokemon on your team. Note that when you register, you cannot change the amount of Pokemon on your team.

3) Once registered, we will see how many rounds the Tournament Bracket can sustain. Once that is evaluated, we will have theme rounds. The rounds will be announced during the pair-ups, so you never know what you are going to get! All battles are 2 vs 2!!

4) Now. If you do not have a Pokemon that fits the round's theme-you can borrow one, but it'll cost you ~_n(No more free -ninety-free!!) 1 point for first stage, 2 points for second stage, 3 points for third stage. This all goes to the pot and you have to buy one within your type. We will set up a borrowing system so some higher folks can loan out their team to smaller team members if it works out that way.

There will be prize money for the Champion and the Runner Up, and maybe a Trophy (Whoever thinks they can whip one up, that'd be awesome)

ALSO. DQ TIME LIMIT OF 5 DAYS PER MATCH >> We're not gonna have ourselves a 4 month ordeal where people vanish. Losers of matches get the points as if in a regular battle.

5) I have been alerted that there are many folks who wish to join, but to not quite have the financial stability to enter-but with to participate. Fine. To help alleviate this, MLG and I have come up with a loaning system.

Whomever currently has registered for the Tournament (sans me, since I'm a wild card)-and has already picked their team-and has over 20 Pokemon is eligible to loan out Pokemon of any type except the type they are using. The loan points go to the pot, not to the person loaning-so this is not particularly advantageous to someone's point total-but more of a show of good sportsmanship. You all are under NO obligation to loan out Pokemon for this Tournament, so don't feel bad if you don't want to. You can loan out as many as you wish-granted you have a Pokemon/type that someone needs.

Now, as an added incentive, I personally will pay the entrance fee for anyone that has 6 points or less-so you can use your points to acquire a team. The catch: You must register at least one of your own Pokemon, therefore that allows you enough points to make it through at least one round of this event. :p.

Point: Non Evo Pokemon cost 3 points. That's their final form


Keep checking this OP. Rules will be added and modified as needed until 5/26.

Rossy: You can enter with two . You can also rent two, I just need to see who all is participating first.

Elf: Htf you thought you had less ground, you have 101 of them? Yer bound to have at least 4 ground, lol.

[Blademaster]

Blade, its 3 points to enter? Htf you dun have enough points?

I need to rent a team. My type(s) of choice are sorely lacking in my team.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Everyone look at the update in the first post. There's a loaning system now.

So Blade if you wanna do steel. I have about six steel pokemon that you can borrow.

Or if someone wants to do rock? I have 10 rock pokemon.

I'll also offer my team up if someone wants to borrow pokemon from it.

[Blademaster]

OK, Melg, what did you want me to see...?

...Oh. Well, this is convenient. However, I have no Steel Pokemon of my own at the moment.

Give me some time to think of something else; I'll post here and in the Bank later.

[Oslo]

Okay, I'm entering! My team will be of the Dark type.

Grumpus ‡ Brando ‡ Big Scary Thing
Keen Eye ‡ Insomnia ‡ Pressure

And if awesome people would be so kind as to let me rent, that would be just dandy.

Woohoo!

[Greyfox]

Blade, I've got an entire squad of steel-types you could borrow if you wanted -- Lairon, Lucario, Magnezone, Metagross, and (even though I'm using her) Empoleon.

Oslo, would you like to rent out my Cacturne?

[Ayeun]

Oslo, you can rent my Umbreon if you wish.

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Dark pokemon I have to offer are: Tyranitar, Weavile, Houndour, Poochyena Carnavha and Absol.

[Ayeun]

4) Now. If you do not have a Pokemon that fits the round's theme-you can borrow one, but it'll cost you ~_n(No more free -ninety-free!!) 1 point for first stage, 2 points for second stage, 3 points for third stage. This all goes to the pot and you have to buy one within your type. We will set up a borrowing system so some higher folks can loan out their team to smaller team members if it works out that way.

What do the loanee's get?

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Nothing. Just 100% respect *grin*

Also Blade: Skarmory, Shiny Aggron, Steelix, Scizor and Empoleon (I'm using my Bronzong).

[Ayeun]

Ok, another question...

If I loan one of my pokemon out, does that count as battle ex if I want to evolve it?

[DarkestLight]

Yes. Prolly the only time this will happen, but yeah, it does count toward EXP.

[Oslo]

Aww, thanks, guys. I think I'll wait until I can see some of the match themes before choosing. This will be fuuuun.

[Rossymore]

Alright then, I'll use my three psychic Pokemon...anyone got a psychic they're not using?

(Am I quite sure I want to use Wobbuffet???)

[Knight of Time]

I have a bunch of Psychic types if you want to use one or more of them, Rossymore. You're welcome to use my Metagross if you wish, I named "him" The Ultimate Computer (T.U.C. for short).

[Dogfish44]

Seeing as I'll probably be away for a period of time for the tourney, all my Pokémon will be available for renting.
I hope there will be a second tourney though ^_^;;
(Rossy, what is the issue with wobba? Him + Luna + Espeon + Metang makes 4, and assuming you don't like Wobba feel free to use GRUMPYPIG, my male grumpig)

[Rossymore]

Knight: I'm gonna use Metang, so a Metagross would be a bit much.

Dogfish: Ooh, a Grumpig seems tempting. I'll have that thanks! And Lunatone...oh yeah. That makes four.

[Wolfsong]

i'm tempted to enter but i have to wait until one of my matches ends so that i can have some points *sighs*

[Rossymore]

Okay, now I have all the Pokemon I need!

Blockade | Eifie | Crescent Creature | Grumpypig
Clear Body | Synchronize | Levitate | Thick Fat

Also paying for the tourney here including the 2 for the pot.
Thanks for the piggy, Dogfish.

Crescent Creature lookin' at you.

[DarkestLight]

Wolfy... you have enough points to enter.. ..i believe..

[Wolfsong]

I'm down to one because i evolved one of my team

[dabsaww]

[DarkestLight]

dabsaww. I want you in this Tourney.

Wverything looked good, except the fact that you missed the pricing for loaning Pokemon.

Its 3 points to get in the Tourney, you got that right.
But if you are using other peoples Pokemon, its
1 pt per first stage
2 points per second form
and 3 per final form.

Since you borrowed two second forms, you'd owe the pot 4 points. However, since you had under 6 points to start with, I'll pay your entrance fee, and all you have to do is edit your bank post saying you gave 4 to the Tourney, alright?

Wolfy, this applies to you (and anyone under 6 points). I will pay the entrance fee for anyone under 6 points, they just have to register their Pokemon by TOMORROW!

[Charles Legend]

fine by me darkest I'll Enter, with an Ice team

Lyra, my Female Smoochum Ability: Forewarn,
Nessie my female Lapras | Ability: Water absorb
Fado my Male Glaceon | Ability: Snow Cloak
Chris 2.1 my Male Weavile|Ability: Pressure

[Oslo]

Mmkay, cross out what I said earlier about waiting. For my fourth Pokemon, I'll be taking up CEB on his offer to let me borrow his Absol. Thanks, CEB!

[Knight of Time]

Knight: I'm gonna use Metang, so a Metagross would be a bit much.

Alright Rossymore, but don't blame me if you get defeated in one of your battles (or if you couldn't afford the cash to borrow T.U.C.). Using Pokemon that haven't fully evolved can be more of a challenge, but then again, if you use them to deliver an upset to someone packing fully evolved Pokemon, then that's something.

[DarkestLight]

I dunno. Metang is just about as versatile as Metagross. I think he'll be fine.

(IMO, I think KOT's just smack talking ya. Don't take that! )
